Nigerian Man launches dating service for people living with HIV

A Nigerian man, Michael Ugochukwu recently launched a dating service for people who live with HIV.. He said he was driven to help people who were stigmatised.

He however told BBC's Newsday programme that religious fanatics in Nigerian churches are critical of his initiative which provides a service to match-make people living with the virus.

"There is still a lot of stigma associated with HIV and Aids around the world. In Nigeria many people living with the HIV virus struggle to be accepted. And that discrimination continues when it comes to finding love and getting married." he said.
